Just Cause 5 is a fan fiction project being developed by User:Anonymous230385.

NOTICE: This is all fan fiction and is not intended to resemble anything similar in the real world. If so, it is purely coincidental and completely unintended on my part.

Plot summary[]

2100 Earth. The world has become an eternal battleground after several things happened in 2025.

Groundbreaking research leads to a cure for aging, and the ability to live forever. And such cures are cheap.

The temperature in the Middle East peaks, making the ground uninhabitable. The resulting exodus results in mass migrations to Africa, Asia, and Europe.

The U.S. and Israel (when they were still around in 2025), after developing a gigantic magnet, moves Israel to Texas. This sparks a global outcry. Meanwhile, Russia and China invade Europe and Asia respectively. Elsewhere, the now 79 year old increasingly stupid President Don King (after scrapping the Constitution following a massive dumbing down of America) orders an invasion of North America. The world looks on in stunned silence as Canada surrenders after only a day of fighting, Mexico in a week, and the rest of North America in three weeks. After that, King becomes even more paranoid, and invades South America, annexing it into the now empire of Eastamerica.

By 2026, what was left of Europe and Asia were exhumed into Europa, and the rest of the world formed together to become Oceania, fighting against Europa and Eastamerica.

By 2027, World War IV had long begun.

However, in 2050, a rebel state emerged: Texasrael. And they were headed by a fearless leader: Samuel Rodriguez.

Notable differences from other fan fiction projects[]

As a result of certain things happening off stage from this wiki, the creator of this project made this project a semi-perpetual one as part of a wider conflict on this wiki between the creator and pretty much everyone else

With 100 storyline missions, this project will be the creator's largest project to date, and possibly, if ever made and released, will likely take more than 35 hours to complete

Reactivation[]

Initially created on February 27th, 2018, and then shut down by the creator on September 7th, 2018, this project was reactivated again on April 12th, 2020, this time as a story format.

As such, this is the first (and possibly only time) anyone on this wiki ever reactivated any of their projects after being cancelled.

Phase I[]

Chapter 1[]

The Agency's coming to kill us. - Tom Sheldon

Agency has been tracking you since before Medici. - Tom Sheldon

Just take off the grappling hook, Rico. Agency won't be able to track you. - Emerson Miller

Miller's right. It's not over. - Rico Rodriguez

Rico could not stop thinking about his past in Solís as he flew to America aboard an Army of Chaos Bloodhound Siege Heli, ready to put an end to The Agency for being complicit in the massacre of his household.

December 4th, 2025. 7 years and a day to the date Rico arrived in Solís, he was now invading America, knowing very well what his actions were. He was going up against The Agency, his former employer, the U.S. military, the world's most powerful military force on the planet, and the remnants of the Black Hand. However, he had an army of his own, consisting of the ERL, Reapers, Roaches, Ular Boys, The Rebellion, and the Army of Chaos. Landing in Texas, where the U.S. military had numerous military installations, Rico came under fire minutes before his landing site.

Rico jumped out of the Bloodhound Siege Heli, wingsuited to the ground, and began engaging Agency operatives and U.S. military personnel.

Rico marched through a coastal city. Army of Chaos helicopters provided cover fire as Rebellion Imperator Bavarium Tanks fired at Agency tanks. A beachfront was established.

Twelve hours passed. The coastal city fell, the first time in over eighty years that a foreign power had occupied American soil.

Three days passed. As Rico marched west towards California, American media was abuzz almost every day, with news sites simply in shock at how Rico managed to take the city. The news did not hold back, with conservative sites openly insulting Rico while liberal sites noted Rico seemed slightly restrained when it came to treating prisoners of war humanely. In fact, life in the occupied city went on as normal, only under a different administration. News sites could even come and visit the city under an escort.

Little did the American public know what Rico was actually planning.

Chapter 2[]

December 8th, 2025.

84 years and one day after their invasion of Pearl Harbor, Rico attacked another town in the Texas panhandle. It was an idyllically quiet town, with not many people around. But Rico knew it for what it was - an Agency base similar to La Mazmorra.

Rico marched into the town, Urga Vdova 89 in hand. The citizens began firing on Rico, but Rico ordered no casualties on the civilian side. Agency operatives and former Black Hand operatives started to come out of a secret hatch near a building. Rico went there.

Rico blew open the hatch. He viewed an elevator designed for going up and down along with a surprised Agency operative. Rico grappled him to the wall and knocked him out with melee.

At the bottom of the elevator, Rico came out to see probably the largest military installation underground, even larger than La Mazmorra.

It was a full prison within a military base. Rico charged forward, his Army of Chaos allies following closely behind. The Agency operatives inside were now frantic, knowing they had no way out.

Rico went through every corner, eliminating Agency operatives and releasing prisoners. The Agency and Black Hand tried to stop him, but in vain. These were supposed to be part of the Black Hand's Global Change Project, but it never came to fruition. Rico didn't care and marched through the base.

Three hours passed. The base was cleared out. Rico went topside to see Rebellion CS Odjurs engaging U.S. military M1 Abrams. It was a battle they were losing fast. The M1 Abrams seemed to be using some kind of high explosive round that could knock out the tank operators. Rico hopped in a disabled one, and began firing back.

30 minutes passed. The attacking military forces were defeated. Rico left a medium detachment of Rebellion Imperator Bavarium Tanks and Urga Mstitels to defend the town, then marched west.

On the news, people were confused. Rico had eliminated almost the entirety of the U.S. military presence and Agency presence in Texas, but had only occupied two settlements, a town and a city. Sure, the U.S. military and The Agency were constantly besieging said two locations, but it struck people as odd. What only occupy two settlements if this was supposed to be an invasion? Conservative media outlets still cheered for the military to take back the settlements, but the liberal sites were still somewhat nicer in tone towards Rico.

Chapter 3[]

December 9th, 2025.

Rico crossed the Texas-New Mexico border near El Paso into a small town on the southern end of New Mexico. The town appeared to be deserted. It seems the Agency had discovered Rico was using one of their old maps left over from Solís, and were frantically trying to move their bases elsewhere. It didn't help them.

Rico searched the town and discovered the remnants of the Agency outpost. Everything of value appeared to be taken. Maps, supplies, guns, ammunition, all of it gone.

Rico, undeterred, left a small detachment of Army of Chaos plus Rebellion Imperator Bavarium Tanks and Urga Mstitels to guard the ex-Agency outpost.

December 10th, 2025. Rico marched even more west, this time heading to Arizona. Even though the map was useless now, Rico knew that they could not have moved far.

Rico reached the site of the old Arizona outpost. It was deserted, but there were truck tires that looked very fresh. Rico ordered his men to follow the truck tires.

Not an hour later, Rico found the new Agency outpost. It was still very much hastily constructed, and many of the Agency members weren't prepared for such a rapid movement.

Rico eliminated all of them and took whatever was valuable.

As Rico marched even more west towards California, on the other side of the conflict, the U.S. military and Rebellion, Army of Chaos, and Panauan forces were taking heavy casualties. The U.S. military rushed aircraft and tanks, while the Rebellion simply activated the Bavarium shielding on their vehicles to negate them.

The media was once again, abuzz. Conservative sites were once again insulting Rico and telling him that there was no chance he could conquer America, while liberal sites were once again, nicer in tone.

In the White House, the increasingly insane President, having just recovered from the COVID-19 epidemic (and having scrapping the Constitution just a year earlier), ordered Alpha and Omega Protocol - complete and utter destruction of the invaders, destroying the cities if necessary.

Chapter 4[]

December 11th, 2025.

The Agency got the tip that moving their locations wasn't going to work, and as such heavily fortified their remaining locations.

Rico marched into California. The California Highway Patrol and National Guard of California opened fire on Rico's forces, but were swiftly blown away.

Rico marched to a coastal town. The citizens there locked themselves into their homes as Rico marched into the town, with no intention of harming anyone besides Agency operatives and anyone who opposed him.

The town became a war zone in just over five minutes as Panauan reinforcements from the Pacific reinforced Rico's forces.

Day turned to night as brutal hand to hand combat broke out among Agency operatives and ex-Reaper Panauan Military soldiers. Rico reached the command post and killed everyone inside.

It was the standard supplies and maps, but this one revealed that the Agency western command post was very close by.

Rico gathered his forces and marched north.

The media was once again, abuzz as always. Liberal sites were uncharacteristically quiet about Rico invading California, while conservative outlets took advantage of the liberal media site silence to accuse them of supporting Rico.

Rico may not have intended for this to happen, but a Second American Civil War was about to erupt.

Chapter 5[]

December 12th, 2025.

Another coastal town in California, which appeared to be in close proximity to Sacramento, now became another warzone as Rico and co. marched towards the Agency's western command post.

Rico and Panauan forces marched through the city, retaining their no quarter order and no harming civilians order, even if those civilians were actively fighting them.

An hour passed. Rico marched through the city, tossing aside any Agency operative who dared stop him.

He rounded a corner, and ran face to face into some of his old enemies.

The Black Hand. You're supposed to be defeated.

Defeated, but not destroyed. And we will relish any opportunity to make you pay for San Esperito, Medici, and Solís!

Ex-Black Hand Titans, ghosts, machine gunners, and a colonel attacked Rico. Rico barely had time to evade 3 RG-PBA 9 Railgun rounds before the ground exploded in front of him.

The timing could not have been better. Two Army of Chaos Warchief Assault Tanks arrived on the scene, blowing up the Titans and ex-Black Hand personnel.

Rico, undeterred, marched forward.

The Agency's western command post turned out to be built into a complete military base. Rico charged the base anyway.

Inside the base, Rico dispatched multiple Agency operatives, before storming the tower. Inside, he quick drew his pistols and killed everyone inside in a matter of seconds.

Yet another city had fallen. Rico ordered a small detachment of Rebellion IBTs and Mstitels to guard the city, as well as some Army of Chaos complements.

Unbeknownst to Rico, there was a report at the Agency HQ.

Woman: The western HQ has fallen. Rico Rodriguez's training definitely paid off.

Man: Indeed. Now we've lost the south and the east.

Woman: What do you want me to do?

Man: What else can we do? Keep resisting!

Woman: I didn't sign up for this suicide mission.

Man: Nobody did. But someone is coming to clean up our accounts.

Woman: What do you suggest then?

Man: The President has ordered Alpha and Omega Protocol. We follow through on that. The cities that Rico Rodriguez has occupied? Prepare to raze them. With nuclear missiles if necessary.

Woman: ...yes sir.

Man: Oh and Agent Kane?

Woman: Yes sir?

Man: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're redeveloping your feelings toward him.

Woman: No sir. My loyalties are to The Agency only.

Man: Good. Now dismissed.

Chapter 6[]

December 13th, 2025.

Rico and his forces marched north after the Agency's western command post fell.

By nightfall, they reached a small town in northern Oregon.

The town was deserted, probably evacuated by the Agency and U.S. military ahead of time.

This small town, however quaint, boasted some of the Agency's finest snipers, determined to make a stand to stop Rico and company.

Rico and his forces marched in, only to take sniper fire from three sides.

Rico told his men to hold fire, and then leaped into the air to scope out the snipers.

As the hour dragged by, all Rico's men could hear were indistinct grappling sounds and sniper rounds being fired into the darkness.

At one point, there were so many sniper rounds being blind fired in the night that some of Rico's men got behind their tanks, in the event a stray sniper round hit them. Such tactics had been practically unused since WWII.

Finally, after two hours, Rico came out. He had dispatched all three snipers, though they were extremely evasive, almost on par with Rico's maneuverability.

This small Oregon town was cleansed of the Agency presence. Now Rico marched north to the American-Canadian border.

Chapter 7[]

December 14th, 2025.

Washington state, U.S. - Canada border.

As Rico and his allies marched north, the U.S. military evacuated the citizens along a border town. Agency operatives set up multiple defenses in the town, ranging from mortars that could fire missiles to machine guns.

Rico marched into town in the afternoon to a hailstorm of gunfire. Several Medician CS Odjurs made short work of the machine guns, but the missile launchers were the real threat. Rico grappled to one site, and disabled the mortar operators. He then turned it on one of the other sites, only to dive to one side as missiles rained down on his position.

An hour passed. The machine gun crews and mortar operators were eliminated, but there were still multiple Agency operatives in the town. Rico dispatched some Army of Chaos soldiers to mop up the rest, then marched east.

At night time, Rico suddenly received a transmission from Sheldon.

Eh hombre? You might want to check the news.

In fact, Canada had sent troops across the U.S. - Canada border to fight Rico's army. It was a false flag operation that Rico was completely unaware of. In fact, several Agency operatives had ambushed an Army of Chaos squad, put on their uniforms, and attacked the Canadian border sentries.

Grrr... tell the men to hold their positions! And get some IBTs and Mstitels up there!

Rico continued to march east.

The news was now aflame. Conservative media outlets welcomed the Canadian intervention, while liberal media sites were still uncharacteristically silent over the town being seized. It was this silence that made the President of the United States issue a decree: all liberal media sites were to be shut down for collusion with the enemy. The problem was, this was against the U.S. Constitution as a violation of the First Amendment.

The next day, as Rico continued to march east, a coup in the White House occurred. U.S. military soldiers attempted to arrest the President for violating the oath of office. The coup failed. As the White House was engulfed in flames, conservatives took to the streets and started torching cities. Police forces were helpless to stop liberal and conservative mobs attacking each other.

The Second American Civil War had begun.

Chapter 8[]

December 16th, 2025.

In an unprecedented move, Rico split his army in two, sending multiple Medician IBTs and Mstitels to a small town in Utah in the northern area, along with a small contingent of Panauans, San Esperitians, and Solinos. He personally continued to march east.

Two days passed. Rico's group reached a town in South Dakota. Strangely, this town was massive, almost the size of New York. It was only the welcome sign that gave it away as a town even though it was more like a city.

Rico marched in and eradicated the Agency presence in there. U.S. military soldiers were helpless against Rico's Agency training skills.

On the other side of the United States, Army of Chaos forces were struggling against the combined force of several elite Agency operatives and the Canadian military. Several Medician squads managed to send a signal out to Rico, saying the town they were in was rapidly collapsing. Just then, Rico's Medician component in Utah sent out another transmission, saying they had destroyed the Agency outpost, but a huge wave of U.S. military personnel and Agency operatives were headed their way.

Rico was stuck with an impossible choice. Keep marching east and hope his forces could hold back the onslaughts, or go back to Washington and deal with an enemy he had never fought before, or head to Utah and bolster his Medician forces there.

In the end, Rico went back to Washington. He told his Medician forces in Utah to hold the line as best as they could, and that he would be there as soon as possible.

Chapter 9[]

December 17th, 2025.

Rico sped back to Washington. Upon arriving, he noted the situation as... quite dire.

The ground was quite literally a no man's land. Buildings were completely ruined everywhere, with Army of Chaos snipers along with three Agency snipers picking off any soldier who was unfortunate enough to be out in the open, with Canadian military troops marching through the rubble.

Rico came blazing in and with a RG-PBA 9 Railgun, stopped the Canadian military troops dead in their tracks.

"This is Rico Rodriguez, Commander of the Medici Military, de facto ruler of Solís, and former Agency operative. Cease your attacking or else I will retaliate!"

A Canadian military commander responded with "Rich words coming from a man who ordered your troops to attack us!"

Rico replied "I never gave such orders! My grievances are with The Agency only, not Canada! I would have no good reason dragging your forces into this conflict!"

The commander retorted, "Well then how come some of your rebels attacked our border sentries? They reported coming under fire by people dressed in Army of Chaos clothing!"

"...did it ever pass your mind that some Agency operatives might've disguised themselves as that and attacked you?"

"Enough! My men have orders to attack only Agency operatives and U.S. military personnel if they resist. I would never have given an order to attack your forces. Send that up your chain of command. I assure you, having weathered years of battle experience, I would never give such orders."

Rico wingsuited away. The Canadian military commander gave a cease fire order and reported this to his superiors.

At night, the three Agency snipers disguised as Army of Chaos soldiers prepared another false flag attack. This time however, luck was not on their side.

An Army of Chaos rebel shouted "Hey! What's that light coming out of that window?"

The squad leader yelled "Sniper! Shoot it!"

On the Canadian border, some of the border sentries heard gunfire, and readied their weapons.

A few minutes later, three people in Army of Chaos attire were thrown in front of them.

The Army of Chaos squad leader asked "These the people who attacked you?"

"Huh... yeah. I recognized one of them as having a scar."

"Well clearly you were deceived. Look at these." The squad leaders produced three cards. These three were highly trained Agency operatives in the art of deception. A level 7 access card was on the soldier with the scar, indicating he was some kind of commander. The other two were level 6s.

"Well I'll be. Fog of war." The Canadian border sentry replied.

The next day, the Canadian parliament voted to stop their incursion into America based on "faulty intelligence." In reality, that was the best they could do in light of these recent news.

Rico, with a slight smirk on his face, surged towards Washington D.C., having relieved his Medician component in Utah.

"Good going amigo. I knew you could handle the Canadians somehow. Just never imagined diplomacy was another one of your skills."

"Sheldon. You know me."

"That I do, kid."

Chapter 10[]

December 20th, 2025. 6 AM.

Rico once again split his forces, but this time three ways. He sent the Medicians and Panauans to a northern area of Minnesota, while he sent the San Esperitians and Solinos to another area of Minnesota, but slightly southern than the other contingent. He himself marched on Indiana.

In Minnesota, the Medicians and Panauans with AH-33 Topachulas and Imperator Bavarium Tanks mopped up the Agency presence in a town. Near the middle of the state, the San Esperitians and Solinos engaged in brutal hand to hand combat through a city, clearing out Agency operatives and U.S. military forces along the way.

Rico himself arrived at a military base in Indiana along with a small number of his forces. There, he put his Agency training to the test as he faced multiple elite Agency operatives along with a huge number of U.S. military soldiers.

"Hey! I've heard of you! You're Rico Rodriguez!"

"I don't even know who you are."

"You're DEAD, Rodriguez!"

"Like to see you try, kid."

The sound of many Sequoia 370 Mag-Slug shells pierced the air as Rico dueled 10 of these elite Agency agents.

Hours passed.

"That all you got kid?"

"Not on your life, old man!"

"Did you just... *laughing*"

For however old Rico was at 57, he still put up quite a fight.

Finally, Rico killed all the Agency operatives in the base save for the "kid". His final words were "Dang... you are good..."

"You picked the wrong side kid." Rico grappled him to the ground and hit his head, instantly knocking him out.

"You are free to do whatever you want with him. Just don't kill him." Rico said to a small squad.

The squad dragged him down a tower to a prison.

Rico's forces had conquered most of the Agency outposts in the United States. However, the fight was still far from over.

On the other side of the United States, liberal and conservative mobs had begun fighting in earnest. Far left and alt right mobs clashed in all major cities of the United States. Rico, knowing very well this would get him a lot of bad press, issued an order. Put down the riots at any cost, with fatal shooting only as a last resort.

Ex-Black Hand Army of Chaos riot shielders moved through Rico's settlements, hitting their shields as they got close to the mobs. Medici Police Department SWAT riot shielders charged the mobs, beating them brutally but not to death. Rioters charged Rico's forces, only to get blunted when Rico's forces surged vehicles.

The United States military reserves could not handle the large numbers of mobs, and were therefore forced to withdraw the sieges of Rico's settlements in order to restore order.

Rico ordered his forces to march on Michigan as he himself marched on Kentucky. Cities burned throughout the United States as the leader of democracy now delved into absolute anarchy.

Chapter 11[]

December 21st, 2025.

Michigan fell in a matter of hours as Army of Chaos Bloodhound Siege Helis pounded Agency positions. Panauan SV-1007 Stonewall APCs mopped up any stragglers.

At a more southern part of the United States, Rico ordered the forces at the coastal town in Texas to start deploying out east. He left some Medici Military Urga Mstitels and Imperator Bavarium Tanks behind to secure the town, but otherwise all forces began moving to Louisiana to capture an Agency naval base.

Rico himself entered Kentucky to find the next Agency settlement completely deserted. The town was devoid of anyone alive.

"Stay alert. There could be snipers anywhere." Rico ordered his men into defensive positions. As they slowly moved throughout the town, they found bodies. Seems some rioting and looting had taken place. Agency operatives, U.S. military soldiers, and civilians all lay dead in the streets and side walks. This place was likely one of the places where liberal and conservative mobs had simply killed themselves.

Rico got a dispatch from one of a San Esperitian in Louisiana. "No sign of an Agency presence. The naval base is completely abandoned. No vehicles, no weapons, no personnel, nothing."

This struck Rico as odd. Where could they have disappeared to?

Suddenly, a warning flashed across Rico's grappler. Missile launch detected.

"Sheldon. Seems The Agency really wants us dead."

"I definitely heard about Alpha and Omega Protocol back at The Agency, but I didn't imagine they would actually use nuclear missiles on us."

"Seems they're really desperate."

"By my estimation, you got an hour before those missiles enter SCRAM mode. And then I don't think even you can stop them, even with all your skills and talents. I'm counting... 1,001 nukes in the air."

"So, sixty minutes to disable over 1,000 nuclear missiles. Great."

Rico activated his Bavarium Wingsuit and took off towards the skies. He used his grappler to rip open numerous nuclear missiles and tossed out their payload. But time was running really short.

"Eh... hombre... you got one minute left to disable eleven more nuclear missiles."

"No problem!" shouted Rico as he zoomed toward the remaining ones.

He disabled ten of them, but the last one entered scram mode.

"No. NO! shouted Rico as it zoomed away from him.

"Well... you tried amigo. Besides, I don't think anyone could have disabled a thousand nuclear missiles in an hour besides you."

"But this will still be at least millions dead."

Rico could only watch in horror as the nuclear missile struck the western Agency HQ in the city he occupied days earlier.

As the mushroom cloud in California rose, The Agency was in stunned silence as to how Alpha and Omega Protocol had all but failed. Only one of their missiles had hit their mark out of over 1,000 targets.

Liberal and conservative mobs plus U.S. military and Agency soldiers now had nothing left to lose as the use of nuclear weapons had been authorized. The entire country now truly plunged into civil war.

Chapter 12[]

December 22nd, 2025.

The UN held an emergency vote to discuss the United States use of nuclear weapons. Overwhelmingly, the United Nations condemned the use of nuclear weapons on American soil.

Rico now angrily surged his forces toward the remaining Agency bases and outposts through the United States.

December 29th, 2025.

Save for a brief interlude in fighting because of Christmas on the 25th, all Agency outposts and bases had been captured by Rico's forces. All that was left was Washington DC, where the Agency HQ had set up a final stand against Rico's onslaught.

Rico marched with his remaining forces towards the capital of the United States.

Chapter 13[]

December 30th, 2025.

Rico marched down Pennsylvania Avenue with Imperator Bavarium Tanks flanking his side. U.S. military, liberal, and conservative mobs all lay dead in the streets as a result of civil war.

Rico reached the White House.

"Mr. President! Step out of the building, or risk eviction!"

"I don't think so, Rico Rodriguez! You are a piece of scum who deserves to be wiped from the face of the Earth!"

"The last person who told me that I would be wiped from the face of the Earth ended up dead. Don't make that same mistake. Tell me where The Agency executives are, or I will be forced to invade the White House. The last time that happened was 1814. Don't break a 211 year streak."

"I don't think so. You see, you have been lucky enough to avoid severe weather this entire time. But now let's see how well you can handle Project Illapa 2.0!"

The White House fountain stopped gushing and went down. A massive tower now rose out of the fountain. Lightning began hitting the peak, as the weather began to rapidly change.

"Let's see how well you can fight in this!" the President retorted as lightning, hail, and wind began devastating Washington D.C.

Rico ordered his men into CS Baltdjurs and Reptile AAVs, and told them to get shelter and stay there.

The President stepped outside. He looked... orange.

"Rico Rodriguez, the traitor. Your time is up."

"I could say the same thing."

"Any last words?"

"I'll try not to damage your house too much."

The President pulled out a RG-PBA 9 Railgun and fired at Rico, only for him to dodge out of its way.

A boss battle now began between the former leader of the free world and the former Agency operative. The President for his age still put up quite a fight. Every time Rico hit him, he would just shrug it off and keep firing railgun rounds at Rico. Rico however, was no ordinary soldier. And all this was not mentioning the threat of severe weather that Rico had to watch for amidst huge pieces of hail and lightning strikes near him.

After an hour, the President began to falter.

"You... traitor... deserve to die..."

"You shouldn't have nuked your own people."

The weather stopped as the President died.

"Well done Rico. Very well done." a voice said.

Rico turned around to spot twenty Agency operatives, with Maria Kane one of them. She was wearing a white shirt along with two other Agency members. The number one and... Emerson Miller?

"Surrender Rico. You are outmatched and outgunned." said the Agency number one.

"You cloned Emmy Miller? Really? After I defeated him?" said Rico.

"Killing you all the way out at Solís was a bit of a long shot. Killing you here on American soil though... will be a far easier task." said the clone.

"This is your last chance. Surrender, or die." said the number one.

"No. This is your last chance. Tell the world about Project Illapa. How you manipulated the United States government against me. And about how you were complicit in regime changes around the world since 2005." said Rico.

"Very well. I very much hoped we would not have to come to blows, but you leave me no choice."

"Kill him." said the Agency number one.

Rico knocked a Niagara Bullpup 9mm out of an Agency operative's hands, and used it to kill 5 members quickly. He then seized a Seqouia Mag-Slug 370 and emptied a shotgun shell into 5 more Agency operatives. The last 7 he used his acrobatics and disabled them all easily.

"Very well. If you want to do something right, you do it yourself." said the Emerson Miller clone.

The weather machine became active once again, but this time, a voice came in over Rico's intercom.

"Sheldon? What is it? And here I thought you were being uncharacteristically quiet."

"Eh... well... you might want to check the news hombre."

China and Russia had apparently declared war on the United States. Apparently some of their nationals were caught in the nuclear missile blast, and they were intervening to protect the world from "evil America."

"Not now, Sheldon. This ends today."

As hail and lightning fell all around Washington D.C., Rico faced off against an elite clone of Emerson Miller. This threat was far more dangerous than the original Emerson Miller, with accuracy nearly perfect, and with another RG-PBA 9 Railgun that could fire as fast as a minigun.

Rico jumped, evaded, fired, and grappled everywhere. He could barely keep up with this clone's combat prowess. Eventually, a giant piece of hail hit the clone, and Rico took the opportunity to headshot the clone, killing the fake Emerson Miller.

"Impressive. Very impressive. But now, you will face me and Kane! Consider your life forfeit!" shouted the Agency number one.

"Come. Enough talk."

The Agency number one was almost just as lethal as Emerson Miller, a result of years of training in the U.S. Army. Rico had to also worry about Maria Kane as well, whose skills had improved massively since Panau.

Hours passed. The storm continued to rage all around the three.

Rico punched the Agency boss in the face only to get his own face hit by Maria's shoulder. Maria took a blow to the knee only for Rico to get hit by a fist from the Agency number one. The boss got hit by a piece of hail only for Rico to get hit by lightning and Maria getting momentarily stunned by a sudden gust of wind blowing her into the Agency number one.

Across the United States, liberal, conservative, and United States military soldiers all lay dead as a result of being frozen, electrocuted, or being blown into structures. Project Illapa 2.0 had consumed the entire United States.

The tower still stood tall as Rico and Maria and the number one continued to exchange blows, even when tired. Rico took a knee to the face as he punched the Agency number one in the face and Maria got blown into the boss yet again.

Finally, Rico seized the Agency number one's RG-PBA 9 Railgun and fired toward the boss. Maria Kane landed in front of the beam first.

"I always loved you Rico. But duty always comes first." said Maria.

Rico, in a fit of rage, fired the railgun towards the tower.

The tower exploded as Project Illapa 2.0 blew up, sending Rico and the Agency number one flying backward.

The storm subsided. Across the United States, cities were on fire as the countryside was in ruins.

Rico stood up, only to see the Agency number one stand up as well.

"What a waste. But I still have one final trick up my sleeve."

The tower collapsed to reveal a final nuclear missile, one larger than any other on Earth. As it rose up, the boss became snagged on it, in the same manner as Baby Panay got snagged on the American missile from the U1. Rico grappled to the missile as it took off.

In between blows, more words were exchanged.

"You should've returned! You would've made a great agent!"

"I'm done doing your dirty work. You should've never killed my household."

"A necessary sacrifice. Look who you are now. You would never be who you are without our training!"

"It's not my training you should be worried about right now."

"Just give up. Save us some time."

"I don't lose, Rico."

"I was hoping you'd say that."

Rico punched the Agency boss into the nuclear missile, and sealed him inside.
